Construction and Demolition Waste Data Archive
Construction and demolition (C&D) waste includes all the waste produced by the construction and demolition of buildings and road infrastructure. It contains a wide variety of materials such as: metal waste, segregated wood, glass & plastic, brick, tile & gypsum, bituminous mixtures, mixed C&D waste, soils, stones & dredging spoil, and C&D waste treatment residues .
C&D waste has consistently been the largest waste stream in Ireland in terms of both volume and weight and accounts for more than a third of all waste generated in the EU1.
National end of waste (for recycled aggregates) and by-product (for road plannings) decisions, beginning in 2023, will help to establish reliable and safe markets for recyclable materials, reduce the use of virgin materials and prevent construction wastes generation.
